The 100kgblock in FIGURE EX7.25takes 6.0sto reach the floor after being released from rest. What is the mass of the block on the left? The pulley is massless and frictionless.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration of the2.0kgblocks is2.16m/s2

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Mass of right block, M=100kg

Time taken t=6s

Distance moveds=1m

02

Explanation

Equation of motion for mass m

T-mg=ma……(1)

Equation of motion for mass M:

Mg-T=Ma⋯⋯(2)

On adding equation (1)and(2)

gM-m=aM+mm=Mg-ag+a

Acceleration a can be calculated as follows.

The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are picturesque cable cars built on stilts to keep the passenger compartments level as they go up and down the steep hillsides. As FIGURE P7.43shows, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of both cars (with passengers) is 1500kg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.020, and the cars move at constant speed. What is the tension in (a) the connecting cable and (b) the cable to the motor?

Teams red and blue are having a tug-of-war. According to Newton’s third law, the force with which the red team pulls on the blue team exactly equals the force with which the blue team pulls on the red team. How can one team ever win? Explain

Will hanging a magnet in front of the iron cart in the given figure make it go? Explain.

FIGURECP7.58shows three hanging masses connected by massless strings over two massless, frictionless pulleys.

a. Find the acceleration constraint for this system. It is a single equation relatinglocalid="1649865348893" a1y,a2y,anda3y.Hint:yAisn’t constant.

b. Find an expression for the tension in string A.Hint: You should be able to write four second-law equations. These, plus the acceleration constraint, are five equations in five unknowns.

c. Suppose:m1=2.5kg,m2=1.5kg,andm3=4.0kg.Find the acceleration of each.

d. The 4.0kgmass would appear to be in equilibrium. Explain why it accelerates.

The 1.0kgphysics book in FIGURE P7.41is connected by a string to a 500gcoffee cup. The book is given a push up the slope and released with a speed of 3.0m/s. The coefficients of friction are μs=0.50and μk=0.20

a. How far does the book slide?

b. At the highest point, does the book stick to the slope, or does it slide back down?
